The Mystique of Turquoise
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the enduring allure of turquoise. Were

times of prehistory for trading and as talismans for good health and good fortune; it has fueled the

modern amulet. The Navajo Indians are most noted for their artistry with turquoise, but many of the
Native American tribes traded with it and held it dear long before the first white man invaded their
lands. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
